We propose a system of equations to describe the interaction of a quasiclassical variable $X$ with a set of quantum variables $x$ that goes beyond the usual mean field approximation. The idea is to regard the quantum system as continuously…
In recent investigations, it has been found that conservation laws generally lead to precision limits on quantum computing. Lower bounds of the error probability have been obtained for various logic operations from the commutation relation…
We show that there is essentially only one way to construct a stochastic Schrodinger equation that gives a dynamical account of the transformation of entangled into factorized states and is consistent both with quantum mechanics and…
The ideas of thermodynamics have proved fruitful in the setting of quantum information theory, in particular the notion that when the allowed transformations of a system are restricted, certain states of the system become useful resources…
The stochastic thermodynamics provides a framework for the description of systems that are out of thermodynamic equilibrium. It is based on the assumption that the elementary constituents are acted by random forces that generate a…
We re-consider the idea that quantum fluctuations might reflect the existence of an 'objective randomness', i.e. a basic property of the vacuum state which is independent of any experimental accuracy of the observations or limited knowledge…
The inability of Schrodinger's unitary time evolution to describe measurement of a quantum state remains a central foundational problem. It was recently suggested that the unitarity of Schrodinger dynamics can be spontaneously broken,…
Quantum mechanics has been argued to be a coarse-graining of some underlying deterministic theory. Here we support this view by establishing a map between certain solutions of the Schroedinger equation, and the corresponding solutions of…
Small (but still containing many atoms) quantum systems (traditionally termed nano-systems) are dramatically different from their macroscopic or genuine microscopic (atomic) cousins. Microscopic molecular systems (with a few atoms) obey a…
This paper investigates the relationship between subsystems and time in a closed nonrelativistic system of interacting bosons and fermions. It is possible to write any state vector in such a system as an unentangled tensor product of…
Quantum state purification, which operates not by identifying and correcting specific errors but by repeatedly projecting multiple noisy copies onto special subspaces, provides a syndrome-free alternative to quantum error correction.…
In relativistic quantum field theory with local interactions, charge is locally conserved. This implies local conservation of probability for the Dirac and Klein-Gordon wavefunctions, as special cases; and then in turn for non-relativistic…
The linearity of quantum mechanics leads, under the assumption that the wave function offers a complete description of reality, to grotesque situations famously known as Schroedinger's cat. Ways out are either adding elements of reality or…
We study quench dynamics and equilibration in one-dimensional quantum hydrodynamics, which provides effective descriptions of the density and velocity fields in gapless quantum gases. We show that the information content of the large time…
Quantum mechanical systems exhibit an inherently probabilistic nature upon measurement. Using a quantum noise model to describe the stochastic evolution of the open quantum system and working in parallel with classical indeterministic…
The prevalent role of force in traditional quantum mechanics is outlined, with special reference to approximate calculations for stationary states. It will be explored how far this force concept can be made useful in the concerned area. The…
We study dynamics of a locally conserved energy in ergodic, local many-body quantum systems on a lattice with no additional symmetry. The resulting dynamics is well approximated by a coarse grained, classical linear functional diffusion…
The kinetics of relaxation in quantum systems induced by anomalous fluctuating noise is studied in detail. In this study two processes are considered, as examples: (1) relaxation in two-level system caused by external noise with slowly…
Principle of locality means that any local change (perturbation) of the stationary state wave function field propagates with finite speed, and therefore reaches distant regions of the field with time delay. If a one-particle or…
We consider bipartite quantum systems that are described completely by a state vector $|\Psi(t)>$ and the fully deterministic Schr\"odinger equation. Under weak constraints and without any artificially introduced decoherence or…
